ABSTRACT:
A balancing system for a wheel having a tire mounted on the rim thereof consists of at least one and as many as three balancing components including rim mounted weights, an annular member including a balancing medium positioned within the tire, and a shock absorber between the wheel and brake drum. The weights are relatively narrow in width and elongated in length and are mounted on the rim to extend predominantly radially of the tire sidewall rather than circumferentially. The annular member is suspended from the tire within the radially outer portion of the air cavity of the tire and during rotation of the tire automatically corrects for imbalance by circumferential migration of the balancing medium and/or annular member to the area of imbalance and/or by radial displacement of the annular member.
